I'm Brooke, a sewer, decorator, and author of Shemmy Shemmy Shake Shake blog. I strive to create a life surrounded by textiles, fashion, and clean, bright interiors. I'm a dreamer, an achiever, and know all good things fall into place at the right time.
I post about any topic from amazing art exhibits to dream homes to fashion & how to get the look. I want to inspire my readers with fresh interiors and seasonal trends. I include pieces of my own life in the blog occasionally to update friends, family, and readers on my home updates, weekend adventures, and recent shopping finds. I try to include several pictures with each post for visual inspiration.
